"Mettle"

In this video tutorial I’ll show you how to create the shield inspired by the movie Captain America without leaving After Effects. The project is based on plug-ins created by Mettle and includes two compositions, one which uses FreeForm Pro and ShapeShifter AE and the other based on the bundled FreeForm plug-in which is included with After Effects from version CS5.

Embrace the power of Mettle ShapeShifter AE plug-in. Learn the basics and then create a sophisticated promo based on displacement mapping techniques. Overcome the limitations of After Effects 3D space with few advanced compositing tricks.
